Criminal Investigation

On this page:

Once you have reported a crime, University Police will begin the
investigative process.

Criminal Investigation Process

The criminal investigation process includes:

Taking the initial crime report and statements

Crime scene processing

Identification and apprehension of suspects

culminating in the judicial system.

Leave investigation to the police. You may inadvertently damage
the process when you try to help.

University Police's Investigations Unit is staffed by four
full-time investigators overseen by our inspector, each of whom
handles a caseload of crimes against persons such as sex offenses,
assaults and robberies, along with property crimes such as
burglary, larceny and fraud.

Record Of a Criminal Investigation

Your University Police can provide you a letter regarding a
check of this investigation, but it would not include any
record of contact, arrest or conviction from other local, state or
federal law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, this letter would
not include, nor does it constitute, any check of an
individual’s criminal history, if any.
